A former dairy farm, The Willy Wicket serves quintessentially British food from an extensive menu, and enjoys a grassy beer garden framed by the pub’s red-brick exterior. Based in Bristol, the dining room features roaring open fires, black oak beam ceilings and squashy leather sofas.

Hearty Sunday roasts and trusty British dishes head The Willy Wicket menu, and a range just for kids offers mini versions of pub favourites. Signature Vintage pies designed by celebrity chef James Martin offer fillings like beef & merlot with buttered peas, while the ‘Vintage classics’ menu includes lemon & garlic-roasted chicken with seasoned chips.

Paying homage to the Great British pub, the Vintage Inn bar stock includes cask-conditioned beers, real ales and a meticulously compiled wine list. Thirst-quenching offerings include seasonal non-alcoholic cocktails and freshly-pressed juices, and rich coffee is brewed freshly throughout the day.

Surrounded by rolling countryside, The Willy Wicket in Downend boasts many rambling walks and idyllic beauty spots, while The Kendleshire Golf Club is just a 4-minute drive away.

Very friendly efficient waiting staff, the food was good - standard pub food but well executed! The overall atmosphere was great and we will definitely go back

I wouldn't recommend the restuarant to a friend or be in any rush to return despite the food being really nice and the venue being nice, purely for the reason that the service is awful. We waited for a long time to have a drinks order taken - probably 20 minutes or so as the staff thought we were waiting for 1 more person to turn up - despite telling them our table of 6 was now a 5. Being told "sorry we're really busy tonight" isn't something I want to hear when there are free tables - if you can't manage the tables you've set up have less tables !

There were 6 of us - all of whom had dined there before but not together. We all felt that our meal was one of the best we had had at the Willy Wicket. This was a small reunion and we have decided to repeat the experience at the same venue in 4 months
